Discovered as a slave child on Tatooine, he was brought into the Jedi Order and quickly ascended to become one of its brightest stars. The trials of the Clone Wars, however, transformed him. Tempted by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, Anakin succumbed to the dark side of the Force, and became the Sith Lord Darth Vader. It was only through the efforts of his son, Luke, that Anakin was redeemed to fulfill the prophecy, and vanquish the Sith Lord, Darth Sidious.<br /><br />Before The Phantom Menace<br />Much mystery surrounds the birth of Anakin Skywalker. There was no father -- Shmi Skywalker carried him in her womb and gave birth to him, yet how he came to be remains a puzzle. Some speculate that it was the will of the Force. Darker theories point to forbidden Sith experiments that could coax midi-chlorians to create life. Whatever the explanation, Anakin was destined to be special, despite his lowly status as a slave.<br />Shmi and Anakin came to Tatooine when he was a toddler, and they were sold by their owner, Gardulla the Hutt, to the unscrupulous Toydarian junk dealer Watto to settle a gambling debt. While in Watto's employ, Anakin learned valuable mechanical and technical skills. He earned the reputation of being able to fix anything. So technically inclined was he that at the age of nine, he cobbled together a working protocol droid -- C-3PO -- to help his mother.<br /><br />Anakin was a kind, selfless child. He had no thoughts of greed or malice in him. He would often risk his own well-being to bring help to those who needed it, heedless of the consequences. As a five-year old, Anakin climbed a dune to chase away banthas so that hunters would not shoot them. Though he collapsed from exhaustion several times, he nonetheless persevered in his effort to save the animals. A few years later, he broke into the fortress of Gardulla the Hutt to save Ghostling children captured there. Even the risk of enraging the Dug bully named Sebulba -- who provided the Ghostlings as slaves -- did not deter the boy.<br /><br />During a trade with Jawas from Mochot Steep, Anakin came across a wounded Tusken Raider. Despite common traveler advice to the contrary, Anakin tended to the Tusken Raider's wounds and nursed him to health.<br /><br />Though compassionate, Anakin was also quite competitive -- downright aggressive at times. Anakin's participation in the foolhardy sport of Podracing was testament to this. Anakin was the only known human capable of handling the extreme speeds of Podracing. His small frame allowed him to sit in the tiny cockpit, and his superhuman reflexes gave him the advantage he needed to keep up with alien competitors better suited to the sport. Anakin's reflexes were actually the product of Force-intuition -- the boy could see events before they happened, and respond to them in kind.<br /><br />Anakin's love of Podracing came about almost by accident. Anakin took Watto's Podracer out for a test spin and performed exceptionally. Recognizing his talent, Watto let the boy continue his piloting, sensing potential profit from the venture. Little did Watto suspect that Anakin would start building his own Podracer, in secret, that would eventually win him his freedom.<br /><br /><br />Episode I: The Phantom Menace<br />Anakin's sensitivity to the Force and his racing talents caused him to cross paths with the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and the young Naboo royal, Queen Amidala. They were fugitives from the Trade Federation blockade of Naboo that desperately needed passage to Coruscant. In order to win the needed parts for their damaged vessel, Anakin figured into a cleverly crafted wager that depended on the outcome of the Boonta Eve Classic Podrace.<br />Anakin pitted his racing talents against the undefeated champion, Sebulba. The young boy ultimately bested the treacherous alien, winning not only the race and the needed starship parts, but also his freedom. He also garnered the attention and admiration of Amidala, who was disguised as a simple handmaiden at the time. Despite their age difference -- she was fourteen and he, nine -- he professed someday that they would marry and he carried a devoted crush on her.<br /><br />Unfortunately, Anakin was unable to win his mother's freedom. Qui-Gon sensed incredible Force potential in the boy, and Anakin's bloodstream held a record number of midi-chlorians. When he departed with Qui-Gon to proceed with his Jedi training, Anakin was forced to leave his mother behind. Although a new life of adventure awaited him offworld, his thoughts dwelled on the kind and quiet Shmi.<br /><br />Qui-Gon Jinn believed Anakin to be the Chosen One spoken of in an ancient prophecy, the one who would bring balance to the Force. The Jedi Council was reluctant to train the boy, feeling his future to be clouded and that Anakin was too old to begin Jedi training.<br /><br />After the liberation of Naboo -- wherein Anakin bravely piloted a starfighter into the heart of the Trade Federation Droid Control Ship -- the Council rescinded its original decision, and allowed Obi-Wan Kenobi to take Anakin as his Padawan learner.<br /><br /><br />Before Attack of the Clones<br />Over the next decade, the Anakin and Obi-Wan forged a strong bond. Under Kenobi's careful guidance, Anakin became a confident, headstrong 20-year old with an impulsive nature and a flair for adventure. His reckless ways would often wear down even Obi-Wan's patience, but the two were close friends. In many ways, Anakin looked to Obi-Wan as the father figure he never had.<br />Once part of the Jedi order, Anakin's power and skill became legendary, as did his impatience and recklessness. Fed up with the staid existence in the Jedi Temple's quiet corridors, Anakin fed his need for speed by venturing into the bowels of Coruscant's infrastructure. There, he would race inside the city-planet's gargantuan waste disposal systems, risking his life in exchange for the rush of breakneck acceleration.<br /><br /><br />As he grew older, Anakin's nightmares became worse. He continued having dreams of a dark future and terrible events lurking on the horizon. Obi-Wan Kenobi admonished the boy not to give into fear, and to use the Force to control his emotions. Despite being powerful in the Force, Anakin always found this difficult. Many feared that Anakin might simply be too powerful to control.<br />While on a mission to discover a missing Jedi on Zonama Sekot, Anakin was challenged by a Blood Carver assassin named Ke Daiv. Anakin, unable to control years of repressed emotion, snapped and killed Ke Daiv. This was the first life Anakin had ever taken through the Force. The intensity of his emotions at the time would forever haunt him.<br /><br />At age 13, Anakin underwent an important Jedi ritual, traveling to the frozen caverns of Ilum. In a grotto strong with the Force, Anakin experienced a haunting vision of his mother and the dead Sith warrior Darth Maul. Not letting his fears paralyze him, Anakin forged ahead through the hallucination, to discover that he had gathered the Ilum crystals needed to build his first lightsaber.<br /><br />Shortly thereafter, Anakin was captured by the fearsome pirate Krayn, who put the young Skywalker to work in a darkened spice processing facility. Another undercover Jedi, Siri Tachi, spearheaded a slave revolt that eventually toppled Krayn's empire. Anakin confronted Krayn and killed the tyrant.<br /><br />As a rash of Separatism threatened the split the Republic in two , Anakin and Obi-Wan were assigned to mediate a border dispute on the outlying world of Ansion. Working with fellow Jedi Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee, they made contact with the natives of Ansion and forged a treaty between the city-dwelling inhabitants and the plains-wandering nomads.<br /><br /><br />Episode II: Attack of the Clones<br />Anakin and Obi-Wan were assigned to protect Padmé Amidala, who was now Senator of Naboo, from assassination attempts possibly linked to Separatists. It was the first time Anakin and Padmé had seen each other in a decade. He had thought of her every day since their last parting, but she seemed aloof and far too occupied with the more important matters at hand.<br />This was a challenge to Anakin. Had he been schooled in the Jedi ways from infancy, he would have had a tighter rein on his emotions. Instead, his mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Padmé or thoughts of his mother. He had not mastered the detachment so necessary to the Jedi order.<br /><br />When he was assigned to escort Senator Amidala to Naboo, where she would be sequestered from further attacks while the Jedi investigated the situation, Anakin could barely contain his emotions. In the quiet solitude amid the beautiful surroundings of a hidden Naboo lake retreat, the affectionate friendship and deeper emotions shared by Padmé and Anakin began to grow.<br /><br />It was Padmé who remained pragmatic in the face of rising emotions. The two had other, larger commitments -- he to the Jedi order, she to the Republic. There was simply no time to indulge their desires.<br /><br />One night, Anakin was overcome with nightmares about his mother. Defying the strict orders given him by Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin left Naboo to return to Tatooine and seek out Shmi Skywalker. Padmé accompanied him to Mos Espa, where he discovered that his mother had been freed by a moisture farmer named Cliegg Lars. Visiting the Lars Homestead, Anakin also learned terrible news. His mother had been attacked by Sand People, and she had been missing for a month.<br /><br />Anakin searched the desert for Shmi, finding her in a Tusken encampment. Sneaking into her guarded hut, Anakin freed her broken form and cradled her body as she died. Again Anakin's emotions boiled out of control. He was possessed with a dark rage that controlled his very actions. Anakin brandished his lightsaber and emerged from the tent.<br /><br />He slaughtered the entire encampment. Every single Tusken Raider man, woman and child died by his hand. But even that did not sate his rage. He still felt a deep hatred toward all of them.<br /><br />Anakin returned to the Lars Homestead with his mother's body. In private, he confessed his actions to Padmé. Shamed at his actions and inability to save his mother, Anakin collapsed, sobbing at what he did. Padmé comforted him as much as she could.<br /><br />A quiet funeral was held at the Lars Homestead. Anakin said his final farewell to Shmi, promising that he would never fail her again. Someday, he knew, he would be powerful enough to not fail the ones he loved. Perhaps someday, he could even stop people from dying.<br /><br />Anakin and Padmé next voyaged to Geonosis, where Obi-Wan's investigations had taken him. Kenobi had been captured by Separatist forces, and Anakin sought to rescue him. Sneaking into a droid foundry on the planet, Anakin barely escaped the dangerous machines of the assembly line. He and Padmé were eventually captured, and joined Kenobi in an execution arena. Faced with overwhelming evidence of her mortality, Padmé lowered her emotional guard and professed her love to Anakin, a love he was willing to return regardless of the consequences.<br /><br />The Jedi and Padmé were able to escape certain death from the dangerous beasts unleashed by their Geonosian executioners. The spectacle was cut short with the arrival of Jedi reinforcements, and then the opening battle of the historic Clone Wars.<br /><br />Obi-Wan and Anakin attempted to intercept Count Dooku, mastermind of the Separatists, before he escaped to foment even further rebellion against the Republic. In a darkened hangar, the two confronted Dooku. Though Obi-Wan insisted they work together, headstrong Anakin rushed into the fray. Dooku nearly incapacitated him with a powerful blast of dark side lightning.<br /><br />Obi-Wan was forced to face Dooku alone, but the elder Jedi Master was clearly the more-skilled combatant. He wounded Kenobi, and was ready to deliver the deathblow, but Anakin jumped in to intercept. Dooku and Skywalker dueled with fierce energy, but Dooku proved far too powerful for even the Chosen One. The renegade Jedi slashed through Anakin's parries and severed the youth's arm. Anakin collapsed, but was spared death by the timely arrival of Jedi Master Yoda, who battled Dooku.<br /><br />After a brief convalescence wherein Anakin's severed arm was replaced with a mechanical one, he accompanied Senator Amidala back to Naboo. There, at a secluded lake retreat, the two were secretly wed by a Naboo holyman in a ceremony witnessed only by C-3PO and R2-D2. It may have been the start of a new life, but it was another step to Anakin's eventual destruction.<br /><br /><br />The Clone Wars<br />If Anakin felt his time as a Padawan was a trying exercise in restraint, the Clone Wars would prove to be an ever greater challenge that would mold his character. Apprenticed to Obi-Wan in the thick of the fiercest fighting the Republic had faced in centuries, Anakin became a man against the backdrop of seemingly ceaseless war.<br />Despite Jedi platitudes about peace and patience, Anakin found the battles of the Clone Wars invigorating. He felt alive in combat, and his incredible Force abilities were further honed. It was Anakin who single-handedly transformed inevitable defeat into victory on numerous occasions. Encounters on worlds such as Cato Neimoidia and elsewhere cemented Anakin and Obi-Wan's legendary reputations. Throughout the Republic, citizens would spread tales of the two Jedi heroes -- Anakin's hologenic features and daring exploits earned him the moniker of "The Hero With No Fear." Skywalker became a celebrity of the state, despite Jedi ascetics frowning upon such accolades.<br /><br />Impressed by Anakin's skill with the Force, the Jedi Council quickly conferred upon him the status of General and Jedi Knight at the war's outset. Anakin led the 501st Legion of clone troopers on many campaigns, with Clone Captain Rex serving under him. True to his pre-Jedi nature, Anakin was bold and aggressive, but he quickly learned that sometimes a well-chosen word proves more effective than a flashing lightsaber. Though resourceful and even cunning if the situation demanded it, Anakin generally trusted his superior Force-abilities to bail him out of a tight squeeze. Anakin's confidence was his greatest asset, and, at times, also his greatest liability. Indeed, Anakin's emotions often landed him in hot water. Never hesitant to risk it all, Anakin's passions consistently led him into dangerous situations and, according to some, questionable decision-making.<br /><br />Anakin's brash nature and bold talk often placed him at odds with the other Jedi, many of whom view Anakin as a loose-cannon -- albeit an exceptionally talented one. In an effort to teach Anakin responsibility, Master Yoda gave him a Padawan learner, 14-year-old Ahsoka Tano. Though they were as different as a Master and his apprentice could be, Anakin and Ahsoka quickly found a common ground, which left Yoda wondering whether the responsibility of mentorship would actually calm Anakin's wild ways, or if he'd simply pass them on to his new Padawan.<br /><br /><br />Other Clone Wars Adventures<br />The Clone Wars saw Anakin's star continue to rise, as his exploits became legendary. An amazing starfighter pilot, Anakin flew missions over Kamino, Balamak, Virujansi, and elsewhere, cementing a reputation for his unparalleled skills. He custom modified his assigned Delta-7 Jedi starfighter into a truly unique vessel that outperformed the ships of the line.<br />The war molded Anakin into a man, but continued to feed his pride. It became increasingly difficult for him to adhere to the strict tenets of the Jedi Code, particularly when the Order itself was thrust into nebulous moral ground in waging a full-scale war. When he could, he would write letters to his beloved Padmé, but he saw her only very rarely.<br /><br />During the Battle of Muunilinst, Anakin was placed in charge of the space attack against the homeworld of the InterGalactic Banking Clan, a key member of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. His exceptional starfighter piloting skills and leadership led clone pilots to defeat the enemy forces. Anakin, however, was drawn from the battle by a sleek rogue vessel that flew apart from the enemy swarm.<br /><br />Despite repeated warnings from Obi-Wan not to pursue, Anakin gave chase, and followed the mysterious fanblade starfighter to the jungles of Yavin 4. Beneath the jungle canopy, amid the ruins of ancient Sith temples, Anakin dueled with Asajj, their ferocious lightsaber attacks illuminating their dank surroundings. Anakin repulsed Asajj, but did so only by giving into his anger, and once again the young Jedi had tread dangerously on the dark side of the Force.<br /><br /><br />Throughout the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan and Anakin were rarely far apart, being dispatched as a team to various battlefronts. As a Jedi Knight, Obi-Wan received the rank of General, with Anakin as his lieutenant. It was on the rain-soaked world of Jabiim that Skywalker had to take over on his own. Obi-Wan was presumed killed in a Separatist attack, and Skywalker led a group of similarly "orphaned" Padawans. In the midst of this battle, Anakin received a priority communiqué from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. The galactic ruler requested that Anakin oversee the evacuation of Jabiim in person.<br />Though it pained Anakin to not fight alongside his comrades in the final push, he had to obey an authority as great -- and a friendship as close -- as Palpatine's. The evacuation of Jabiim was an ugly, controversial extraction, with the Republic abandoning the local forces to fend for themselves. Captain Gillmunn, local leader of the Jabiimi loyalists, swore vengeance on Skywalker and the Jedi order. He pulled a gun on Anakin, and Skywalker reacted by using the Force to start choking Gillmunn. Such a frightening use of the Force came easily to Anakin, though it was the first time he had ever used the mystical energy field in that specific fashion.<br /><br />After evacuating Jabiim, Anakin was stationed at the medical centers on New Holstice. He met up with A'Sharad Hett, a young Jedi raised in Tusken Raider culture. Given Anakin's hatred of the Sand People for the murder of his mother, Skywalker was deeply conflicted when he was teamed with Hett on a mission to Aargonar. Unable to express his prejudice and anger towards Hett, Anakin instead projected his hatred on a group of Yuzzem Confederacy troops. Imagining them to be the Tusken Raiders who had kidnapped and tortured his mother, Anakin slaughtered the alien troops.<br /><br />After reining in his emotions, Anakin revealed his secret to Hett. So that the troubled youth would view him as a fellow Jedi and not a Tusken Raider, A'Sharad removed his Tusken mask, revealing his human features to Anakin. Hett chose to keep Anakin's burden a secret, for it was ultimately up to Anakin to confess his transgressions to the Jedi Council. He never did.<br /><br /><br />Before Revenge of the Sith<br />Time and again, the Separatists pushed, and Anakin would find himself restrained by his oaths to the Jedi. He couldn't share his darker thoughts with his fellow Jedi -- the thoughts that overwhelmed him that night in the Tusken Raider village. He knew that such a path was a gateway to more power, but it also led to the dark side. The only person he felt comfortable confiding such troubles to was a friend he had since his days as a child hero on Naboo: Chancellor Palpatine.<br />Palpatine encouraged Anakin's talents. In many ways, Anakin felt Palpatine was the only one not asking anything from him. He was simply letting Anakin be, and appreciating him for his efforts and talents -- he wasn't imposing boundaries nor begging for aid.<br /><br />Another ache for Anakin was the absence from his wife. Long weeks would stretch into months wherein Anakin would not see Padmé. As a devoted Senator, she kept a watchful eye on the war, but much of her interest on the scattered reports of the ongoing conflict was deeply personal. The five months they were apart during the Outer Rim Sieges tore at their hearts.<br /><br />In the last yearof the Clone Wars, Anakin and Obi-Wan were stationed in the Outer Rim when word came of a shocking development. Coruscant was under attack. Not only was the planet that held his beloved wife targeted, but also his close friend the Chancellor had been kidnapped by the merciless General Grievous and his droid forces.<br /><br /><br />Episode III: Revenge of the Sith<br />It was with a fierce determination that Obi-Wan, Anakin, and their Republic forces launched towards Coruscant, to parry the blow to the Republic's heart. Infiltrating General Grievous' flagship, Obi-Wan and Anakin worked their way into what was surely a trap. Aboard the vessel, they found the captive Palpatine and were confronted once again by Count Dooku.<br />In the lightsaber duel that ensued, Obi-Wan was knocked unconscious by a withering telekinetic blow delivered by the Sith Lord. Anakin continued to hold his own alone, urged to the offensive by Palpatine's goading. Anakin sliced off Dooku's hands, rendering the Sith Lord harmless. At Palpatine's insistence, Anakin killed Dooku, decapitating the Separatist leader. He instantly regretted the decision, despite the surge of power he felt in doing it. Palpatine tried to reassure Anakin that it was necessary -- Dooku was too dangerous to be taken alive.<br /><br />Kenobi, Skywalker and Palpatine then attempted to make their way off the starship, only to be captured by General Grievous' droid forces. Marched before the General within the ship's bridge, it was Anakin who surprisingly recommended patience as a tactic. Sure enough, his reliable astromech droid, R2-D2, provided a mechanical distraction that allowed Anakin and Obi-Wan to overpower their guards and reclaim their weapons.<br /><br />Grievous escaped the encounter, but the flagship sustained far too much damage during the Battle of Coruscant to remain in flight. The planet's gravity pulled the ship further down into the atmosphere, and it was up to Anakin to pilot the splintering craft to safety. True to his reputation, he succeeded. He once again proved to be a hero -- having rescued Palpatine, defeated Dooku, and returned home safely.<br /><br />Finally back on Coruscant, Anakin was reunited with Padmé. The reunion was bittersweet, for while Padmé brought Anakin the news that she was pregnant, this only complicated matters. They wondered how they could continue to keep their relationship a secret with this new development. Anakin tried to focus on the positive, but was soon plagued with nightmares that he deeply feared were prophetic. He kept dreaming that Padmé would die in childbirth.<br /><br />In addition to this heavy burden, even more weight was put on young Anakin's shoulders. He found himself in the middle of a political power struggle between the Jedi Council and the Chancellor. Throughout the Clone Wars, Chancellor Palpatine was gaining increased executive powers in the name of security. Those in the Jedi Council, including Mace Windu, grew increasingly suspicious of Palpatine's motives. They suspected Palpatine would soon attempt to make the Council an exclusive instrument of the Chancellor's office.<br /><br />Palpatine trusted Anakin. Their friendship caused the Chancellor to appoint Skywalker to the Council, as his special representative. Ordinarily, the Jedi Council would not allow such an outside influence to dictate their appointments, but the Jedi had a plan. They would use Anakin to report on the Chancellor's activities. Though not documented in any official records, Anakin was asked by the Council to spy on the Chancellor. Specifically, Obi-Wan Kenobi made the request personally.<br /><br />Anakin was outraged. Bad enough the Jedi Council should involve itself in such treason, but to ask in such an unorthodox fashion -- and to have it be his former mentor nonetheless! Further angering Skywalker was that the Council accepted his appointment, but refused to grant him the rank of Master. Such an insult was unheard of. Deep down he believed he was more powerful than these outdated Jedi Masters. Anakin imagined that they feared his power, notions that Palpatine helped nurture with his advice.<br /><br />It was at these moments of Skywalker's greatest confusion that Palpatine opened up to him. During a quiet conversation at the Galaxies Opera House, Palpatine recounted an old Sith legend of Darth Plagueis the Wise. Palpatine explained that Plagueis, a Sith Lord, had abilities that some would describe as unnatural. Like an ancient alchemist, he could coax life out of midi-chlorians, either for the purpose of creating new life, or staving off death in others. This was the promised power of the Sith, suggested Palpatine. Anakin, who had been searching for a way to prevent Padmé from dying, listened intently.<br /><br />Anakin confronted Palpatine about this arcane knowledge, accusing the Chancellor to be a Sith Lord. The Chancellor did nothing to dissuade Anakin of this idea. He instead offered Anakin the knowledge and power that the dark side promised. He promised Skywalker a path to the Force that had no rules, no code, no boundaries.<br /><br />Anakin reported the Chancellor to Mace Windu, earning the Jedi Master's trust. Windu brought a team of capable Jedi warriors to arrest the Chancellor, but he refused to let Anakin come along. Left alone to stew in his tempestuous thoughts, Anakin realized that Palpatine could be his only chance at saving Padmé. He rushed to the Chancellor's office, to discover that Mace Windu was about to kill the Sith Lord.<br /><br />Palpatine cried out for help, calling Mace a traitor, and explaining how the Jedi had engineered a coup to topple the Republic's leadership. Mace denied this loudly, identifying Palpatine as the traitor. With these shrill arguments vying for his loyalty, Anakin felt torn. He snatched his lightsaber, and brought an end to the standoff.<br /><br />Skywalker's blade neatly cleaved through Mace Windu's arm. With his defenses stripped, Windu was easily overpowered by Chancellor Palpatine. The Sith Lord -- now revealed to be Darth Sidious -- killed the Jedi Councilor with a massive burst of Sith lightning that propelled Mace Windu out the shattered window of the Chancellor's office.<br /><br />With the death of Mace Windu, Anakin had committed himself to the dark path. He knelt before Darth Sidious, proclaiming himself to be a servant of the Sith. Pleased, Sidious granted Anakin a Sith name: Darth Vader. With the promise of newfound powers, Sidious dispatched Vader to destroy the Jedi Temple.<br /><br />On that terrible night on Coruscant, Darth Vader became the scourge of the Jedi. He led a column of clone troopers into the heart of the Jedi Temple. They killed all those within. His eyes burning with Sith intensity, it became clear that Anakin was no longer the same hero he once was. He was firmly entrenched in darkness, even bringing his blade to snuff out the bright lives of the Jedi younglings.<br /><br />Skywalker was no more. He could not hear the entreaties of his friends and loved ones to return from the darkness. As Darth Vader, he killed the leadership of the Separatists, bringing an end to the Clone Wars. In his rage, he would bring about the death of his wife, fulfilling the terrifying vision that prompted his turn to forbidden knowledge. When his former mentor tried to stop his spree of destruction, Vader suffered grievous injuries in the lightsaber duel on Mustafar that followed.<br /><br />Vader required cybernetic enhancements and replacements to sustain him. His pure innocent self seemingly lost forever, Darth Vader cast a dark pall over the galaxy, as he was one of the foremost agents responsible for the spread of the Emperor's draconian New Order.<br /><br /><br />Episode VI: Return of the Jedi<br />Obi-Wan survived long enough to begin the training of Luke Skywalker -- Anakin's son -- in the path of the Jedi. The young Skywalker sought to turn his father away from the grip of the dark side. In the end, Luke stirred the spirit of Anakin that dwelled deep within the black armor, and Anakin turned against his master. Anakin killed Emperor Palpatine, but was mortally wounded in the attempt.<br />Aboard the second Death Star at the Battle of Endor, Anakin Skywalker lay dying. He asked his son to remove his life-sustaining helmet, so that he could look upon his long lost son with his own eyes. Having saved his son's life, and reclaimed his soul from the dark side, Anakin died and became one with the Force. As he shed his corporeal form, he found the spectral forms of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda ready for his return. Through compassion and selflessness, Anakin discovered the secret knowledge of the Shaman of the Whills, a technique that allowed him to retain his identity in the netherworld of the Force.<br /><br />Anakin's spectral form looked upon his two children -- the twins Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa -- during the celebration at Endor.<br /><br /><br />Behind the Scenes<br />The name Anakin dates back to the earliest drafts of Star Wars, where the character was to play a role similar to Luke's in A New Hope. In this early incarnation, Annakin Starkiller was the 16-year old son of Kane, a respected warrior. He lived with his father and his ten-year old brother, Deak, on the desert planet of Utapau.<br />By the third draft of Star Wars, Luke becomes the central character and he is established to be an orphan. His father had died in the Battle of Condawn at the hands of treacherous Sith Lords of Alderaan.<br /><br />Initial concept sketches of young Anakin had him be a bit older -- around 12 years old -- until Lucas revised the storyline to be set during Anakin's ninth year. The gravity of Anakin's departure from his mother is made all the more powerful by his young age. </span></div></div></div></div></div>EOTChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11475760619223838465noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308276454568948061.post-52205532788552641082008-08-26T22:59:00.016+03:002008-09-16T11:58:49.123+03:00Medicom 12 Inch Figure : Jango Fett<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TCYiEv3yUCc/SLRivPawQ9I/AAAAAAAAGQg/wiLgHrxQ1JQ/s1600-h/DSC_0041+copy+[MasaÃ¼stÃ¼+Ã‡Ã¶zÃ¼nÃ¼rlÃ¼ÄŸÃ¼]+copy+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238920830270850002" style="WIDTH: 409px;

Palpatine saw the Republic crumbling about him, torn apart by partisan bickering and corruption. All too common were those unscrupulous Senators taking advantage of the system, growing fat and wealthy on a bureaucracy too slow to catch them.<br /><br />Palpatine's moment of opportunity came as a result of a trade embargo. The Trade Federation, in protest of government measures that would tax their outlying trade routes, blockaded and invaded Naboo. Naboo's planetary leader, Queen Amidala, rushed to Coruscant for Palpatine's aid. Together, the two pleaded to the Senate for intervention, only to see their request stalemated by Trade Federation filibustering. Frustrated by the government's inability to do anything, Queen Amidala acted upon Palpatine's suggestion, and called for a Vote of No Confidence in the Republic's leadership.<br /><br />Chancellor Valorum was voted out of office, and Palpatine was soon nominated to succeed him. The crisis on Naboo prompted a strong sympathy vote, and Palpatine became Chancellor. He promised to reunite the disaffected, and bring order and justice to the government.<br /><br />Little did anyone suspect how Palpatine had engineered his own rise to power. Hidden beneath a façade of wan smiles and smooth political speeches was a Sith Lord. In truth, Palpatine was well versed in the ways of the Force, having been apprentice to Darth Plagueis the Wise, a Sith Lord who was a master of arcane and unnatural knowledge. In true Sith tradition, Palpatine murdered his Master upon achieving the skill and ability to do so. He then took an apprentice himself, continuing the Sith order in absolute secrecy, right under the noses of the Republic and the Jedi.<br /><br />With his cloaked Sith identity of Darth Sidious, Palpatine made contact with the scheming Neimoidians and plotted the invasion of his own homeworld. The resulting political fallout allowed Palpatine to step into the power vacuum left by Chancellor Valorum.<br /><br />Despite Palpatine's vocal promises of reform, the Republic continued to be mired in strife and chaos. A decade after his nomination, Palpatine's Chancellery was faced with the challenge of a popular Separatist movement led by the charismatic leader, Count Dooku. Many in the galaxy feared that the conflict would escalate to full-scale warfare, but Palpatine was adamant that the crisis could be resolved by negotiation.<br /><br />The Separatists didn't agree. Upon the discovery of a secret army of droids, it became apparent that the Separatists were on the verge of declaring war against the Republic. To counter this, the Republic needed a military, and Palpatine required the authority to activate the Republic's newly forged army of clones. To that end, Senators loyal to Palpatine motioned that the Chancellor be given emergency powers to deal with the Separatist threat.<br /><br />With spoken regrets, Palpatine accepted the new mantle of power. He promised to return his absolute authority to the Senate after the emergency subsided. What no one realized was that the galaxy would undergo further upheaval, and that a state of crisis would ensure Palpatine's authority for decades.<br /><br />The Clone Wars were just part of an intricate Sith plan concocted by Palpatine. After the demise of Darth Maul, he needed a new apprentice to carry forward his agenda. He did not have time to train an adept from the cradle, but instead plotted to turn an already proven Jedi warrior onto the path of the dark side. His target, the disillusioned Jedi Master Count Dooku. By appealing to Dooku's civility and disgust with Republic corruption, Palpatine was able to lure him to the dark side. When he became fully enmeshed in the Sith order and pledged his absolute loyalty to Palpatine, Dooku was granted the mantle of Darth Tyranus.<br /><br />As Tyranus, Dooku put into motion the next phase of Sidious' fiendish plot. He was responsible for the creation of a clone army on the Republic's behalf, selecting a prime candidate as the clone template: Jango Fett. With his public persona of Dooku, he grew to become a political firebrand, leading a militant band of dissidents to wage open war against the Republic: a war the Republic was pleasantly surprised to find they were equipped to fight. The Clone Wars were a sham -- as Palpatine secretly held authority over both sides of the conflict.<br /><br />The indications of his future regime were subtle at first. Palpatine's term as Chancellor ended during the rise of the Separatists, but that crisis allowed him to extend his stay in office. Once the Clone Wars erupted, the Senate's inability to efficiently wage war on scattered fronts forced him to enact executive decree after executive decree. He added amendments to the constitution funneling more power to him, effectively circumventing the bureaucracy of the Senate.<br /><br />The public and the Senate willingly gave up their rights and freedoms in the name of security. Under Palpatine's guidance, the war would be won, and the Republic would be safe. The monstrous specter of General Grievous leading an assault ensured that few questioned Palpatine's growing authority.<br /><br />The Jedi Council was among the wary. As an instrument of the Senate and the people, the Jedi order resisted Palpatine's directcontrol. This tension grew as the war escalated. Some in the Senate also quietly whispered their misgiving. Palpatine knew of a delegation of concerned Senators, and he would deal with them in time.<br /><br />During the Clone Wars, Anakin Skywalker grew to be a legendary hero among the Jedi. His power was remarkable. Palpatine, who had been fostering a friendship with the unique lad since his childhood, felt the time was right. Darth Tyranus had served his purpose. Skywalker would be the next Sith apprentice.<br /><br />As a bold endgame to his lengthy plot, Palpatine was architect of his own abduction by the fearsome General Grievous, military commander of the Separatist forces. The Confederacy fleet hammered Coruscant's defenses, and absconded with the captive Chancellor. Predictably, the Jedi order's finest heroes -- Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi -- were dispatched to rescue Palpatine. Aboard their tiny starfighters they infiltrated Grievous' flagship, and worked their way to the shackled Chancellor.<br /><br />Count Dooku stood in their path. Once again, lightsaber blades crossed as Kenobi and Skywalker teamed up against Dooku. The aged Sith Lord was able to outmaneuver Kenobi, and knocked the seasoned Jedi unconscious. Without his mentor's guidance, Anakin attacked Dooku alone. The Sith Lord goaded Anakin's rage, and the young Jedi took revenge against the warrior who had severed his arm years before. Skywalker cut off both of Dooku's hands, and had the Separatist leader kneeling before his lightsaber blade.<br /><br />Palpatine recognized the dark side in Anakin and nurtured it. He encouraged Anakin to kill Dooku. Skywalker's blade seared through flesh and bone, and Dooku's severed head soon littered the deck. Though Anakin instantly regretted the act for not being of the Jedi way, Palpatine was quick to console him, and absolve him of any guilt. After all, Dooku was too dangerous to be taken alive, rationalized Palpatine.<br /><br />It was not the first time Palpatine had encouraged Anakin's unfettered abilities. A young man of Anakin's abilities was constantly chafing under the strict confines of the Jedi Code, and was often being reprimanded for doing what he felt was right. Palpatine never had any admonitions. He was always in Anakin's corner.<br /><br />Skywalker would remember this as the political fallout from Dooku's death and the continued Clone Wars tugged him in different directions. The Jedi Council had grown wary of Palpatine, and was critical the Chancellor's decrees that redirected power away from the Senate and the constitution and into his office. Palpatine grew to naturally distrust the Council. He appointed Anakin Skywalker to act as his personal representative on the Jedi Council. Surprisingly, the Jedi Council agreed to this appointment -- but only in the hopes of turning Anakin into their spy on the Chancellor.<br /><br />Palpatine exploited this distrust and confusion plaguing Anakin. Skywalker grew to feel that the Chancellor was the only one not asking something of him, the only one not speaking through veiled agendas. It was in this position of trust that Palpatine recounted a Sith legend -- the story of Darth Plagueis the Wise. In the relative privacy of his viewing box in the Galaxies Opera House, Palpatine wistfully recalled the little heard legend of the powerful Sith Lord so knowledgeable in the arcane and unnatural arts that he could even stop those he loved from dying. At the time, Anakin Skywalker was plagued with visions of the death of his wife. He feared them to be prophetic, like so many of his visions. Skywalker wanted to know more about this ability -- it was unknown to the Jedi, supposedly only discovered by the Sith. Knowing that he had the boy sufficiently intrigued, Palpatine later dropped his guise. He revealed to Anakin that he was in fact a Sith Lord, but also that he was the path to the power that could save Padmé Amidala from dying.<br /><br />Anakin was deeply conflicted. Respecting his loyalty to the Jedi Order, he informed senior Jedi Council member Mace Windu of the stunning revelation. Windu arranged a group of Jedi Masters to arrest the Chancellor. Palpatine did not go quietly.<br /><br />In the inner recesses of the Chancellor's private office, the Jedi confronted the Chancellor. Palpatine produced a lightsaber hidden in his sleeve and let the dark side of the Force flow through him. It granted him inhuman dexterity and speed, agility enough to quickly kill three Jedi Masters and force the mighty Mace Windu back. The two dueled, transforming the office of politics into an arena of lightsaber combat. Windu overpowered Palpatine the instant Anakin Skywalker came running into the offices.<br /><br />Skywalker witnessed a stunning sight: the Chancellor, cornered, with Windu looming over him with his lightsaber blade extended. Palpatine unleashed a torrent of Sith lightning at the Jedi Master, but Windu was able to deflect it back at the Chancellor. The evil energies twisted Palpatine's face as they flowed through him, scarring and disfiguring his once handsome features. His eyes burned yellow, his voice grew ragged and deep, and he became a well of dark side energies.<br /><br />Palpatine slumped in the corner, seemingly too weak to continue the lightning assault. Fearing the Chancellor to be too powerful and too well connected, Windu decided he could not be taken alive. Before Windu could take justice into his own hands, though, Anakin sprung into action. He cut off Windu's weapon hand with his lightsaber. Defenseless, Windu was then bombarded by Palpatine's dark side lightning. With the Jedi Master dead and Anakin Skywalker haven taken his first irreversible step to the darkside, Sidious grinned.<br /><br />Skywalker knelt before Darth Sidious, and the Sith Lord bestowed upon him the title of Darth Vader. He next tasked his new apprentice to raze the Jedi Temple before the treacherous Jedi could strike back at them. Entrenched in the dark side, Vader marched to the temple with a column of loyal clone troopers, gutting the sacred edifice from within. Meanwhile, Sidious took care of the Jedi scattered across the galaxy waging the Clone Wars.<br /><br />Palpatine enacted Order 66, a coded command that identified the Jedi Knights as traitors to the Republic. He broadcast this order to the clone commanders on the various distant battlefronts, and the loyal soldiers killed their Jedi generals in cold blood.<br /><br />The next day Palpatine called for a special session of the Galactic Senate. Despite his disfigurement, he appeared before the assembled politicians of the Republic, and gave a stirring speech of how he narrowly escaped a treacherous Jedi rebellion. He assured the people of the Republic that his resolve had not faltered. He had routed out the treachery that had entangled the Republic in the Clone Wars. He would flense the corruption from the bloated bureaucracy that strangled the august government and reform it, as a new, more powerful, more secure institution.<br /><br />That day, before thunderous applause, Palpatine declared himself Emperor.<br /><br />Palpatine instituted a military build-up unprecedented in galactic history. He created the New Order, a Galactic Empire that ruled by tyranny.<br /><br />During the Galactic Civil War, Palpatine ruled with an iron fist. He disbanded the Imperial Senate, and passed control down to the regional governors and the military. During the Hoth campaign, Palpatine expressed to Vader his concerns over Luke Skywalker, a young Rebel powerful in the Force. Vader suggested that the two convert the youth to the dark side of the Force, an idea the Emperor seconded.<br /><br />The Emperor was a scheming ruler, planning events far in the future, using the Force to foresee the results. Palpatine allowed Rebel spies to learn of the location of the second Death Star, and foresaw their strike team and fleet assault. Palpatine crafted an elaborate trap that was to be the end of the Rebellion. He also concentrated on converting Luke Skywalker to the dark side of the Force, even at the expense of sacrificing Vader. In the Death Star, high above the Battle of Endor, Luke refused the Emperor's newfound dark side power, and so Palpatine used his deadly Force lightning to attack the young Jedi. Luke almost died in the assault, but his father, Darth Vader, returned to the light side of the Force, and hurled the Emperor into the Death Star's reactor core, killing him.<br /><br />Palpatine was a gnarled, old man. An ancient-looking human, he had pale skin, and searing, sickly yellow eyes. He wore a heavy dark cloak, and carried a glossy black cane.<br /><br /></span><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_TCYiEv3yUCc/SHjsmjbIm6I/AAAAAAAAF6k/jx2tzOZTYKU/s1600-h/Picture+007.jpg"><span

One of the first statues that Gentle Giant did with a very low limit. It was released on the 12/2004 with a limited number of 1500. The price was $240 when it was released. Now it goes around $600 on ebay. I can easily say that this is the best statue of Gentle Giant. The skin details on Dewback is amazing. The 's' shape sand base looks great with foot prints on it. The sandtrooper is equipped with a riding staff.</span></p><span style="color:#666666;"><p><br />Manufacturer: Gentle Giant Studios</p><p>Release Date: 12/2004 </p><p>Sold OutLimited to: 1500Price:

At the press of a button the energy contained within is liberated and forms as a shaft of pure energy about a meter long. The saber hums and scintillates with a distinct sound. Its shimmering blade is capable of cutting through almost anything, save for the blade of another lightsaber.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#666666;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#666666;"><br />In the hands of a Jedi, a lightsaber is almost unstoppable. It can be used to cut through blast doors or enemies alike. Using the Force, a Jedi can predict and deflect incoming blaster bolts, and reflect them back at the firer.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#666666;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#666666;"><br />After the extermination of the Jedi ranks, lightsabers became rare relics. The knowledge of their construction disappeared with their masters. </span><a href="http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/lukeskywalker/"><span style="color:#666666;">Luke Skywalker</span></a><span style="color:#666666;">, the last of the Jedi, built his own lightsaber as the culmination of his training. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#666666;"></span></div><div align="justify"><br /><span style="color:#666666;">Although use of the lightsaber is strictly reserved to the Jedi -- the only ones capable of handling the difficult weapon -- it is also used by their sworn enemies, the </span><a href="http://www.starwars.com/databank/organization/thesith/"><span style="color:#666666;">Sith</span></a><span style="color:#666666;">.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#666666;"></span></div><p><p><p><p><div align="justify"><span style="color:#666666;">BEHIND THE SCENES : </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#666666;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#666666;"></span></div><p><p><p><p><div align="justify"><span style="color:#666666;">In the early incarnations of the Star Wars story, lightsabers were not weapons exclusive to the Jedi order. In fact, they were quite mundane, being used by Rebel and Imperial troopers alike. </span><a href="http://www.starwars.com/bio/georgelucas.html"><span style="color:#666666;">George Lucas</span></a><span style="color:#666666;"> then limited the weapon only to the </span><a href="http://www.starwars.com/databank/organization/thejediorder/"><span style="color:#666666;">Jedi Knight</span></a><span style="color:#666666;">s, to give the order a unique feel and an arcane quality.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#666666;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#666666;"><br />The technique for realizing a lightsaber onscreen has varied throughout the years. In the pre-digital days of the original trilogy, a variety of methods were use to create the lightsaber effect both practically (on-set) and optically (during post-production).</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#666666;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#666666;"><br />One version had a motorized hilt that spun a blade covered in reflective material. The blade, when lit, did indeed glow in front of the camera, but it lacked the color and hazy corona that surrounded the pure white blade as seen in the finished film. These blades were cumbersome and fragile, and required a power source for the tiny motor. They did not make good sparring weapons, and the glow was colorless and inconsistent -- a tilt at the wrong angle would cause the blade to lose all its vibrancy from the camera's point of view.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#666666;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#666666;"><br />Most of the lightsaber luminosity seen in the classic trilogy was the result of rotoscoping. Years ago, rotoscoping described the process of laying tracing paper over a blow-up of a film frame, and tracing, frame by frame, the necessary animation. This animation was typically painted onto an animation cel - a transparent sheet of acetate. Those cels would then be photographed one frame at a time, and optically composited into the frame.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#666666;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#666666;"><br />The actors on set used simple rods that were colored in such a way as to make the job easier for the rotoscope artist. When a saber needed to be activated, one of two methods was used. A simple editing trick stopped the camera so that a prop man could replaced an unlit saber (which is just a handle) with a lit saber (one with a blade attached). When the film was played back, the saber blade would magically appear. The other method involved the actor using an unlit blade throughout, and the rotoscope artist would draw the growing blade. Since correctly drawing in the glowing blade without the benefit of a prop blade as reference is a challenging task, the scenes where a saber is first activated usually cuts away, to allow the replacement of the unlit prop with a full-bladed weapon.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#666666;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#666666;"><br />For The Phantom Menace, rotoscoping was again used to realize the lightsaber blade, but the technique has changed radically since the early 1980s. Now, rotoscoping is done digitally, and the blades are colored and animated with a computer, rather than ink and paint.</span></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#990000;">Source : </span><a href="http://www.starwars.com/databank"><span style="color:#990000;">www.starwars.com/databank</span></a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>EOTChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11475760619223838465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308276454568948061.post-84571818970739393692008-04-02T10:49:00.058+03:002008-04-05T15:23:18.800+03:00Gentle Giant: No Galaxy for Old Men !<div align="justify"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_M6-XhNACI/AAAAAAAAAH4/MqtlYw-3fjY/s1600-h/EOTC+2-001.JPG"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184552439173152802" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_M6-XhNACI/AAAAAAAAAH4/MqtlYw-3fjY/s200/EOTC+2-001.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;">I have recently added Dooku mini-bust to my collection thanks to my dear friend Cndncr. Although it’s one of the oldest in the Gentle Giant mini-bust line I couldn’t get one till today. After the acquisition of Dooku I realized that finally three important old men from the saga Dooku, Tarkin and Ben Kenobi are together in my collection. For the record when it comes to the “old” Obi-Wan of the original trilogy, I prefer to call him Ben.<br /><br />These mini-busts represent the different stages in Gentle Giant’s Star Wars journey so this review will be important to see how GG evolved over the years.<br /><br />The three gentlemen here are important human characters but exactly how old were they at their final appearances ? Dooku was 83, Tarkin 64 and Ben Kenobi was 57 years old. </span><br /></span></div><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_M9JnhNAtI/AAAAAAAAANQ/2drVxTN72Fs/s1600-h/Obi-wan_headshot.jpg"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184554831469937362" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_M9JnhNAtI/AAAAAAAAANQ/2drVxTN72Fs/s200/Obi-wan_headshot.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;"> </span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_M9JXhNArI/AAAAAAAAANA/MtiRu9Ctr_k/s1600-h/EOTC-Closeuptarkin.jpg"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184554827174970034" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_M9JXhNArI/AAAAAAAAANA/MtiRu9Ctr_k/s200/EOTC-Closeuptarkin.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;"> </span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_M9JnhNAsI/AAAAAAAAANI/KnN_U2wIT7c/s1600-h/EOTC-Dooku.jpg"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184554831469937346" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_M9JnhNAsI/AAAAAAAAANI/KnN_U2wIT7c/s200/EOTC-Dooku.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;"><br /></span><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;">First of all these age figures doesn’t seem realistic to me when I look at these shots. Ben Kenobi seems older than 57 and I think Tarkin must be at his late 70’s.<br /><br />There is a problem here because if we compare these products with the actors we have a different result, but if we look them keeping in mind their “official” ages we have another conclusion. Personally I see these busts as if Gentle Giant intended to make them as they were in the movies, without considering their ages in the databank.</span></div><div align="justify"><span

style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;">If we look at all three we have to admit that all of them are well sculpted pieces, but the painting of the busts is not at the same level for all. In terms of paintjob the best one is Dooku. There are lots of skin details. Tarkin has some wrinkles also but it seems old Ben aged better than the others. He has the skin of a baby, no wrinkles, no detail... </span><br /><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;">Ben Kenobi is again the loser if we look at the costumes. Tarkin has his sharp imperial uniform and Dooku's well dressed as we know from the movie. But unfortunately Ben's outfit looks brand new without any texture or "weathering".</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;"><br /></span></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;">Apart from these each bust has its own special feature; Dooku is the old-school bust with no arms, Tarkin has his Death Star chair and Ben Kenobi has his lightsaber on his belt.</span></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;"></span></div><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;">The edition sizes of these busts are weird. 2500 Pieces is very good for Dooku. Ben is a popular character and that's why there are 6000 pieces but 5000 would be more than enough, but producing 6000 pieces of Tarkin is insane. This guy's edition size should be similar to Dooku. Because of this Dooku is one of the few precious regular mini-busts of Gentle Giant. On the other hand Ben &amp; Tarkin are suffering with low market prices.</span></p><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;">When you have a review with three items it is inevitable to rank them. Here’s my ranking for these there;<br /><br />1. Dooku<br />2. Tarkin<br />3. Ben Kenobi</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;"></span></div><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;"></span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#c0c0c0;">To conclude, I have to admit that our beloved Gentle Giant is not improving over the years in terms of painting. Afterall Dooku is the oldest product and it's the most detailed one, but I love them all.</span></p>Gürkan Ildaşnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308276454568948061.post-83968015867456030822008-03-31T14:28:00.023+03:002008-04-01T00:17:56.433+03:00Gentle Giant Mini Bust : Exclusive Clone Commanders<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DZGnhM_hI/AAAAAAAAADw/0WNJg0IQ4HQ/s1600-h/EOTC+001.JPG"><span style="color:#666666;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183881878814129682" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DZGnhM_hI/AAAAAAAAADw/0WNJg0IQ4HQ/s200/EOTC+001.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#666666;"><br /><br /><br />When you have plenty of options it is very tough to choose an item to start the reviews with. I’ve decided to go with my Clone Commanders, hope you’ll enjoy them.<br /><br />I had the chance to purchase three of the five exclusive clone commanders. The question is do I consider my self lucky?<br /><br />Yes, I have three commanders that I absolutely love.<br />No, I’m not sure if I can buy the remaining two.<br /><br />Actually that resumes the problem here. I understand and support the idea of having some exclusive items for some exclusive occasions, such as conventions. But I can’t accept the fact that the products chosen to be exclusive are the ones that are desired most by the collectors all over the world.<br /><br />Commanders are the most exciting characters of the last movie apart from the leading actors. That’s why they should have been sold through retailers. But let the past be the past, I sincerely hope that Gentle Giant would never make such odd choices again.<br /><br />As you would guess Clone Commanders are also clones, but they differ from the rest of the army because of the training they’ve had. If you are familiar with the “expanded universe” you would know the story behind them. But let me make a brief summary for the ones whose Star Wars knowledge is limited to the silver screen.<br /><br />Actually the clone troopers were all the same; same physic, same mentality, same skills... But a few were trained by the original host himself; Jango Fett. These troopers were the Advanced Recon Commandos, or Arc Troopers, elite infantry trained for the special tasks.<br /><br />Only a few ARC troopers were trained and one of them (Alpha) continued to train clone commanders during the Clone Wars. Thanks to this program we had notable characters and brilliant mini-busts such as Cody, Gree, Bly, Bacara and Neyo.<br /><br />Well you have the picture on the top, so you know which ones I own. Let’s start reviewing them.<br /><br />I’ve purchased Gree, Cody and Bly from three different friends in Turkey. I was extremely lucky to find them with exceptionally reasonable prices.<br /><br />Clone Commander Gree, designation CC-1004, led the Elite Corps stationed on Kashyyyk during the Clone Wars. He tried to kill Yoda within order 66 and couldn’t succeed. He was my first love.<br /><br /><br /></span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DZi3hM_iI/AAAAAAAAAD4/gJUP2IPs674/s1600-h/EOTC+026.JPG"><span style="color:#666666;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183882364145434146" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DZi3hM_iI/AAAAAAAAAD4/gJUP2IPs674/s200/EOTC+026.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#666666;"> </span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DaDnhM_jI/AAAAAAAAAEA/2TEBzgmc5tQ/s1600-h/EOTC+027.JPG"><span style="color:#666666;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183882926786149938" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DaDnhM_jI/AAAAAAAAAEA/2TEBzgmc5tQ/s200/EOTC+027.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#666666;"><br /></span><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DaEHhM_kI/AAAAAAAAAEI/xRIkdssqpYI/s1600-h/EOTC+028.JPG"><span style="color:#666666;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183882935376084546" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DaEHhM_kI/AAAAAAAAAEI/xRIkdssqpYI/s200/EOTC+028.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#666666;"> </span><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DaEHhM_lI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/AklYPa9oa7o/s1600-h/EOTC+020.JPG"><span style="color:#666666;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183882935376084562" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DaEHhM_lI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/AklYPa9oa7o/s200/EOTC+020.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#666666;"><br /><br /><br />Other than the color and the straps Gree is almost an ordinary trooper. These commanders are all about customized helmets &amp; armors, there are lots of lovely details. The paint job was brilliantly done as if Gree painted the armor himself. There are some small scratches but nothing too excessive. What I liked most is the shiny green, t-shaped visor. At the back you would notice a small back-pack which is some sort of a communication device I guess. It has a tiny antenna which looks really fragile. That means you have to be extra careful when taking this guy out of his box. The arms are fixed but you have to attach the hands and the DC-15S blaster.<br /><br /><br /></span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DaEXhM_mI/AAAAAAAAAEY/DP1KDB4zlYA/s1600-h/EOTC+022.JPG"><span style="color:#666666;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183882939671051874" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DaEXhM_mI/AAAAAAAAAEY/DP1KDB4zlYA/s200/EOTC+022.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#666666;"> </span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DaW3hM_oI/AAAAAAAAAEo/BEgi3WGj80g/s1600-h/EOTC+024.JPG"><span style="color:#666666;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183883257498631810" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DaW3hM_oI/AAAAAAAAAEo/BEgi3WGj80g/s200/EOTC+024.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#666666;"><br /><br /></span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DaWnhM_nI/AAAAAAAAAEg/CCLVVbNtqig/s1600-h/EOTC+023.JPG"><span style="color:#666666;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183883253203664498" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DaWnhM_nI/AAAAAAAAAEg/CCLVVbNtqig/s200/EOTC+023.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#666666;"> </span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DaW3hM_pI/AAAAAAAAAEw/BTnJ8EVGzAQ/s1600-h/EOTC+025.JPG"><span style="color:#666666;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183883257498631826" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DaW3hM_pI/AAAAAAAAAEw/BTnJ8EVGzAQ/s200/EOTC+025.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#666666;"><br /><br />Cody was the second commander that I’ve received, but non-arguably it is the most famous one.

The light is very powerful. When we look at Cody we see that he has a very distinguished helmet, with additional devices. Arms are fixed but you can remove or rotate the head a bit. Honestly this a useless feature because positioning the head piece in a direction other than the Emperor himself would be pointless. The man himself has the battalion’s orange paint on his helmet and armor. This guy has lots of battle damage on his armor but basically all of it is paintjob. There are no deep scratches at all which is a bit disappointing for me, but after all Cody is the best of them all.<br /><br />And the last one of the three is Commander Bly of the 327th Star Corps or as it is also known as CC-5052. Although I’ve always liked the design of this commander, I couldn’t love him because of the assassination of Aayla Secura. The flip-down macrobinoculars is the most distinctive feature of this guy. It is not fair to say "I'm disappointed with Bly", buy unfortunately this is how I feel. The macrobinoculars are fixed on the helmet at one position which shouldn’t really be. I personally would have preferred them up and I don’t think that it would have been a big issue for Gentle Giant to make it that way. But hey, maybe they are planning on putting out an extra head as a more “extended ultimate exclusive” for some convention at the North Pole.<br /><br /></span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DdR3hM_5I/AAAAAAAAAGw/B6yvTBKFs5I/s1600-h/EOTC+030.JPG"><span style="color:#666666;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183886470134169490" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DdR3hM_5I/AAAAAAAAAGw/B6yvTBKFs5I/s200/EOTC+030.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#666666;"> </span><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DdSHhM_6I/AAAAAAAAAG4/w3DO0kYR2bA/s1600-h/EOTC+031.JPG"><span style="color:#666666;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183886474429136802" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DdSHhM_6I/AAAAAAAAAG4/w3DO0kYR2bA/s200/EOTC+031.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#666666;"><br /></span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DdSXhM_7I/AAAAAAAAAHA/-40va5y3CBo/s1600-h/EOTC+032.JPG"><span style="color:#666666;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183886478724104114" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DdSXhM_7I/AAAAAAAAAHA/-40va5y3CBo/s200/EOTC+032.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#666666;"> </span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DdSXhM_8I/AAAAAAAAAHI/chyWzYRIMVw/s1600-h/EOTC+033.JPG"><span style="color:#666666;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183886478724104130" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DdSXhM_8I/AAAAAAAAAHI/chyWzYRIMVw/s200/EOTC+033.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#666666;"><br /></span><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DetHhM_9I/AAAAAAAAAHQ/0K6CVUlPn0M/s1600-h/EOTC+034.JPG"><span style="color:#666666;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183888037797232594" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DetHhM_9I/AAAAAAAAAHQ/0K6CVUlPn0M/s200/EOTC+034.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#666666;"> </span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DetXhM_-I/AAAAAAAAAHY/HdcY6smTzIg/s1600-h/EOTC+035.JPG"><span style="color:#666666;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183888042092199906" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DetXhM_-I/AAAAAAAAAHY/HdcY6smTzIg/s200/EOTC+035.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#666666;"><br /><br /><br />Both arms and hands are fixed to the body on this one and because of the open arms pose it has a bigger box than the other two. The pose is still a question mark for me. For the moment I’m not sure if I like it or not. I love the idea of two DC-17 hand blasters but at the end I believe it could have been better. Like Cody, Bly has lots of scratches. But the damages on this one seemed more realistic to me.<br /><br /><br /></span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DetnhM__I/AAAAAAAAAHg/kW2yVR-dGDM/s1600-h/EOTC+036.JPG"><span style="color:#666666;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183888046387167218" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DetnhM__I/AAAAAAAAAHg/kW2yVR-dGDM/s200/EOTC+036.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#666666;"> </span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DeuHhNAAI/AAAAAAAAAHo/RwSww6oxl9M/s1600-h/EOTC+037.JPG"><span style="color:#666666;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183888054977101826" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DeuHhNAAI/AAAAAAAAAHo/RwSww6oxl9M/s200/EOTC+037.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#666666;"><br /></span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DeunhNABI/AAAAAAAAAHw/2NybbCAAyo8/s1600-h/EOTC+038.JPG"><span style="color:#666666;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183888063567036434" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_h6uZt2dfJoc/R_DeunhNABI/AAAAAAAAAHw/2NybbCAAyo8/s200/EOTC+038.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#666666;"><br /><br /></span><div><br /><span style="color:#666666;">Overall I must say that I am mostly satisfied with these guys and recommend you to get them if you had the opportunity.
